Fact is better than'theory. Eminent
linanciers predicted that if silver coin
axe was continued, there would be a
gold famine and that the white |al
would drive the yellow metal out of
circulation. The facts disprove this
prophesy. DR.. Kimball, the director
of the United States mint, in his report
shows that during the past year the
stock of gold has increased
$50, 00O, 600 in foreign coin
and that we have now on hand
1928, 600, 600 in gold to 1924 900, 600
in liver. During the year the exports
of the latter metal exceeded 50, 1888, 600
the exports of the former. These
figures do not indicate that there is
danger of the United States becoming
the dumping ground for European
silver"

THE UPRIGHT MAN.

The man OF life upright,
Whose guiltless heart is free
From all dishonest deeds,
Or thought Of vanity;
The man whose silent DAYS
In harmless joys are spent,
Whom hopes cannot delude
Nor sorrow discomfort;
That man needs neither towers
Nor armour for defence
No secret faults to fly
From thunder's violence.
He only can behold,
With unafIrighted eyes,
The horrors Of the deep
And terrors OF the skies.
Thus scorning all the cares
That fate or torture brings
He makes the heaven his book,
His wisdom heavenly things.
Good thoughts his only friendsA
His wealth a well-spent age;
The earth his sober inn
And quiet pilgrimage.

The British government has, for
years, paid the passages Of many of
her conyicts and paupers TO this
try. Secretary Bayard has protested
against this thing. The correspondence
between the secretary and British
Minister West just published shows how
vigorous this protest was. Mr.. Bayard,
after informing the British representa-
tive of the facts, and complaining that
his government has not given attention
to the protests, concludes by saying
that the sending of paupers and con-
victs TO this country cannot but be
looked upon rs an u~nfriendly act.
What effect this will have on the Lon
don government remains TO be ascer-
aimed.

Measuring Sunshine.

There was o time, not many years ago,
when the sur might shine and shine with
all its might. and yet leave no scientific
record Of its presence beyond the effect OF
mere heat shown by the thermometer.
Nowadays all this is changed, and there
are scattered over various portions of the
country instruments which catch every
CLEAN OF bright sunlight and write il down
indelibly, so that, looking at the picture
presented, we may see al q glance whether
such and such q day was really fine or
cloudy. The continuance by which this is
effected is exceedingly simple, consisting.
as il does, of nothing more than . solid
glass bail set on g pedestal with q sur
rounding frame in which to place at a suit
able angle a little strip Of blue cardboard,
where the effect is seen in q scorcbed
patch OF more or less distinctness. AS the
relative position Of the sun changes, the
scorch changes too, 30 that at the end Of 8
bright, sunny day the picture on the card
consists Of q leng, scorched line. By meas
uring this line we get record OF the num- Der
Of hours sunshine prevalent during the
day. The instrument, although commend.
ably simple, has one great drawback. IL
the brilliancy OF the SUMS rays be
shroudsd even to q very small extent by
mist or by q thin veil Of cirrus cloud, the
heat produced is insufficient to produce a
burn on the card.-Msnchester Examiner.
